August 29, 2015  10:32

India 64-3 (24 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard


Prasad trying to tempt Kohli with wide outswingers but so far he has resisted the urge to go after them. The Sri Lankan pacer has settled into a good rhythm at the start and is creating enough problems. The odd incoming delivery is keeping the batsmen guessing. The last ball is wide as Kohli goes after it, gets a thick outside edge past the gully for a four.

Pujara is looking a bit more assured than his captain and is doing a good job of keeping out the pacers. Prasad bowls a good fast yorker to Kohli, who gets his bat down in time, this is a good spell from the experienced pacer.

India manage to see off the pacers as spinner Rangana Herath is called into the attack. Pujara turns the first ball through the leg side for two runs before he defends the rest of the over.

Captain Angelo Mathews brings himself into the attack. And he strikes in his very first over of the day, getting the big wicket of Kohli, who pokes at a wide outswinger only to edge it and give debutant Kushal Perera his first Test catch.

Kohli walks back after scoring 18 from 60 balls to leave India in trouble at 64 for three, in the 24th over.
